Forest Retreat, Private, Redwoods, Hot Tub, The Great Outdoors

Modern Zen is a sophisticated and tasteful blend of modern and serene. Set in the redwoods of Cazadero near Austin Creek, this mid-century modern compound embraces stylish amenities like a hot tub, remodeled kitchen, outdoor shower and entertainment technology. Get away from it all in a two bedroom main house and separate private suite.

Outside is divine! The main deck sports a dining table for morning mimosas and alfresco meals, propane BBQ, large hammock (that gets a perfect amount of sunshine in the afternoon), plenty of welcoming seating and views up the hillside and into the redwood trees. It's the perfect gathering place between the main house and the private suite. Around the corner and completely private, a 6 person hot tub awaits. Just steps away is a private outdoor shower, hooks for towels and gate to the lower yard and fully fenced dog run.

In the main house the freshly remodeled kitchen has all new stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, a multi-tiered island and is open to the dining area and comfortable living room. The kitchen is well-appointed with quality cookware and colorful Fiestaware. This open floorplan is ideal for group cooking and congregating. No one is left out of the fun! Spread out in the living room to watch TV or stream music through the new flat screen Roku TV. Retreat to your cozy bedroom with a memory foam king bed and one with a queen bed. Each bedroom has a TV and sliding glass doors to the deck and hot tub. Get ready in the stylish main bathroom with heated floors, tiled shower/tub combo and marble counter top.

Cross the multi-level deck to the charming private suite with queen bed, separate comfortable seating area with TV and DVD player, full bathroom with heated floors and kitchenette with washer and dryer. This space is equally inviting when sun streams through the windows or rain patters on the roof. Make coffee in the kitchenette or grab a snack from the mini fridge before joining everyone in the main house for breakfast.

Native ferns, rhododendrons and thimbleberries thrive under the redwood trees with Japanese maples, climbing roses and camellias. Families, friends, dog owners and everyone else will love staying at this peaceful retreat in the woods - that's just a short drive to world class restaurants and wineries. Hiking in Armstrong Redwoods State Park or along the Sonoma Coast is minutes away.

Know Before You Book:

Maximum Occupancy and Quiet Hours: The maximum occupancy at Modern Zen is 6. Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. Outdoor amplified sound is prohibited at any time.

Parking: On-site parking is available for 3 vehicles. RVs, trailers and campers are prohibited, per the Sonoma County Vacation Rental Ordinance.

Bed Sizes: First Bedroom: King Bed, Second Bedroom: Queen Bed, Private Suite: Queen Bed.

Heat Source: The main house has central heat and wood burning fire place. The private suite has a gas fireplace.

A/C: The house does not have air conditioning. Being near the coast, the night time temps drop and just opening some windows is usually enough to cool the house.

Dog Run: A large dog run (approx. 1,500 square feet) with entrances through the deck off the hot tub and a gate at the bottom of the driveway has 4 foot tall fencing. The area is a combination of flat and hilly and may not be suitable for very small dogs.

Perfect home for exploring San Francisco and Sonoma county.
The house is clean, spacious, and fully equipped. I did a lot of cooking and enjoyed it quite a bit. The hot tub is clean and as fun as you would expect, but the real outdoor treat is the shower. Its not just an outdoor shower, its a GOOD outdoor shower. Its HOT, private, and built into the deck right next to the hot tub with access through sliding doors to both rooms in the main house. The second "house" is really cool for having a separate space for kids or someone who just wants to get away from everyone for a bit. The courtyard deck area is really cool for eating or just hanging out in the forest. The internet is really good and the TV setup is great. There is even a wood burning fireplace which I love. What makes it all even better is the area you are staying in. Safeway in Guerneville is fully stocked and only about 10 minutes way. In fact I kid you not I could spend an entire week exploring amazing beaches, forests, roads, and towns all within 20 minutes of the house. This place is fantastic.

Sonoma Wine and Coast
Loved our stay here - nestled in the redwoods away from the hoards of travelers in more populated areas. Close enough to do a full day wine tour in the Alexander or Sonoma Valley, a Russian River swim and super close to the beautiful Sonoma coast for hikes or trip to Bodega Bay. We loved coming back to relax in the hot tub or stare up at the stars on the hammock. Loved the place - it’s exactly as pictured and would stay again!

Secluded Getaway
We greatly enjoyed our time at Modern Zen. We really felt away from it all on the deck under the redwoods. We cook a lot and found the kitchen well-stocked with everything we needed. Even a crock pot! The separate apartment was perfect for our college student so she could retreat when she had had enough family time. The only downside was that we had our senior dog with us and didn't realize there were steps into the house and steps down to the dog run. Highly recommend this space for a relaxing trip in nature.

Peacefully perfect
House was immaculate, well appointed and surrounded by beautiful redwoods on a very quiet street. We loved the set up with 2 houses and the deck in the middle. Our three teens loved having their own space. All the furniture was comfy, kitchen had everything needed, tons of windows and skylights so you can see the redwoods from any place inside. Truly a gem! Will definitely return!

Side trip before conference in Reno
The property was great. So quiet and peaceful, with beautiful surroundings. Great location for short trips to nearby places and also worth taking a longer drive to Avenue of the Giants. House was well furnished and equipped and full of information for local places to visit. Hosts provided great communication ahead of our stay with reminders while we were there. If we are ever so fortunate to return to the Russian River Valley, we will definitely book this property again.

Lovely, restful home in the trees
We had a lovely rainy weekend at this house. We agreed that this is the best-documented vacation home any of us had stayed at. It's very well set up for guests. We appreciated the separate suite, the heated bathroom floors, and the hot tub. It was too rainy to use the outdoor hammock, but we hope to return another time to enjoy it. Overall, this was a great vacation home and we would happily rent it again.

Peaceful and relaxing stay
We had a great stay at Modern Zen. The pics in the VRBO website are pretty much spot on. The beds were very comfortable as was the sofa and chairs in the living room. It was quiet - not much too much traffic on Austin Creek Rd during our stay. Views of redwoods and the forest all around. The kitchen has updated appliances and had pretty much everything we needed (glad I brought coffee filters. The heated floors in the bathroom were unexpected and welcome. The furnace is very efficient, especially on a cold rainy day. Convenient o Guerneville and Monte Rio. I will definitely reserve this home again as it was a nice relaxing environment.

Clean house great stay
Overall the house worked great for us and we were impressed with how well appointed it was with everything we needed. very clean and organized with information on where to find everything. Great for the dogs. Dog run was different than expected not much room for play as it is on a hill, but we added fencing to cover hillside openings to the fenced deck yard and that worked well for our pups. Nice hot tub and outdoor shower was very helpful.
